Atour Hotel (Urumqi International Grand Bazaar Minjie)

I stayed for three consecutive nights and was so satisfied! 👍 The breakfast was rich and varied, and tasted amazing. The congee in the evening was also very refreshing. The laundry room was clean, the room was comfortable, and I slept soundly every night. It was also convenient to go out for shopping.

Every stay at Atour feels incredibly reassuring. The overall style is simple yet sophisticated. The room has great natural light, is spotlessly clean with no strange odors, and the mattress and pillows are just right, ensuring a fantastic night's sleep. The front desk staff are warm and polite. The common areas are quiet and elegant, and the attention to detail is impressive, from the tea selection to the toiletries. It offers excellent value for money and is my top choice for travel.

This hotel, opening in 2025, boasts excellent facilities. The environment is quite good. However, hotels in Xinjiang generally offer mediocre service with very low efficiency. I wanted to extend my stay in my current room and went to the front desk to arrange it. They said they needed to ask the manager, and I waited for two hours without any reply. I had to go back to the front desk again to inquire, and even after calling, I still didn't get any response.

Overall, it's pretty good. The location is excellent, very close to the Grand Bazaar and Jinquan Shopping Mall, both within walking distance. Downstairs, there are great restaurants, convenience stores, and more. The basement is a shared parking garage, which is convenient for coming and going. The room was generally clean, and the breakfast was decent – a good hearty meal for anyone, especially those from northern China. My only minor complaint is that my room was very close to the elevator, and as a light sleeper, it was a bit noisy.

The hotel is located right on Minjie Street, incredibly close to Jinquan Shopping Mall – just a 2-minute walk. It's also only about a 10-minute walk to the Grand Bazaar pedestrian street. You can't park directly in front of the hotel, but there's a convenient underground parking garage. The facilities are excellent, and the breakfast is plentiful. It might be due to the May Day holiday rush, but the service during my stay on May 4th felt a bit less attentive than when I stayed on April 25th, over a week prior. For instance, they didn't contact me beforehand to guide me to the underground parking, and there were no soft drinks in the room. However, overall service quality is still quite good. It's understandable that they were busy and fully booked during the holiday.

Since it was my companion's first time in Urumqi, I specifically chose a very convenient location in the old city, within walking distance to the Grand Bazaar. We strolled along, and it took us about 10-odd minutes to get there – truly convenient. The room was standardized, a typical Atour room. There are many restaurants on the side of the hotel, so if you don't want to venture far, dining is also very convenient.

Great location, just a ten-minute walk from the Grand Bazaar, and right downstairs is the ethnic street, perfect for experiencing the local minority culture. The room facilities were clean and tidy, the environment was nice, and it was very quiet at night for sleeping. The breakfast was also rich, a mix of Chinese and Western styles, plus local delicacies. The front desk and other staff were very helpful. All in all, I felt very comfortable and satisfied during my three-day stay. Thumbs up! 👍
